RIckard Issued the following statement: i "I have decided to hold the JeffriesÄrBta.R.ra.i!: äCieCllOU 1 tau vu fcic in 1 tmvMio for doing so. Goldfield made an offer which was hard to turn down. They are the gamest of men I ever saw. A committee of Goldfield business men offered to take me to a local hank and guarantee me a gate of $200.000. I decided on Reno, however, for several reasons. Reno Easy of Access. "In the first place, I did not feel that fight fans of the east and west should be compelled to take that extra 12hour ride across the hot desert to Goldfield. Then again, the people from San Francisco can get here on the morning of July 4 and leave the same night In order to be back to their business Tuesday morning. For this reason I think probably one or two thousand more will come from San Francisco that would not go to Goldfield. The Reno people have done all they could. They will build a suitable arena and buy the $1,000 license for me." THEN HE USED THE PHONE Kentucky Feudist Kills His Tenant, Wounds Latter's Mother and Surrenders to Authorities.
